Guest Reviews
- Kevin (7/5): -
- Paloma (10/5): Excelente ! - Ubicación estupenda, a dos cuadras de la plaza.
Todo muy limpio. Los baños separados por sexo, te dan llave para el locker y toalla. Además hay cocina y lugares para compartir.
El personal muy amable
Te venden aquí mismo buses para otras ciudades y el tour al volcán de fuego .
- Daniela (10/5): -
- Julien (5/5): -
- CARLOS (9/5): - La ubicación es genial y los anfitriones son muy amables
- JULIAN (6/5): Ubicación excelente pero espacio muy reducido - Esta muy bien ubicado
El personal es muy amable
Hay cocina para prepararte tu comida y zona para relajarte, comer y pasar el rato.
Bonita decoración de la habitación El tamaño de la habitación es muy reducido. Para una persona es algo claustrofóbico y no hay ventanas. Para dos personas no lo veo adecuado.
El precio se me hace algo elevado
- Lucia (6/5): - Me gustó la ubicación La higiene del baño era cuestionable
- Prune (9/5): -
- VLADIMIR (9/5): -
- MARGALINE (4/5): I left after 2 nights because I could not get comfortable and could not sleep - Good location Too many people per room, only 1 bathroom for 10 women, uncomfortable beds, co-ed
- Guest (5/5): -
- Mireya (10/5): - Buena ubicación, excelente atención y buena limpieza.
- Karen (10/5): - Exceptional staff especially Frances, who looked after us well, organising a shuttle bus, keeping our luggage and advice on transport.
Great kitchen and upper area for eating and hanging out, comfy rooms, short walk to the Parque Central A little bit of confusion about how to pay. The message sent ahead of time said we could pay in USD on arrival by cash or card, but this was not possible. I think the information sent to guests needs to be changed.
- Pedro Henrique (7/5): -
- Camille (7/5): Fait l'affaire mais pas exceptionnel - Emplacement : l'hébergement est situé tout proche de la place centrale et a proximité de tout L'humidité de la salle de bain, la présence de moisissure malgré le nettoyage quotidien des chambres
Le bruit des aller et venus des vacanciers
Il y a bien un service de bagagerie mais payant !!!
- Guillermo (5/5): - El personal muy amable Ruidoso y por ser pequeño todo se escucha, las habitaciones no se condicen con las fotos publicadas
- Emily (9/5): Comfortable hostel and great night sleep - Really good nights sleep here very quiet and comfy bed with curtain. Nice clean bathroom and great central location. Also a nice rooftop to chill. Not a hostel with a social atmosphere but perfect if you want something chill!

- Mariana (8/5): Buena ubicación. Silencioso y cómodo - Ubicación excelente, a 2 cuadras de la plaza principal. El personal muy atento y amable. Está bien para una noche. Tiene una terraza con vistas muy lindas. Un poco anticuadas las habitaciones y el baño un poco descuidado, pero funciona todo muy bien para una noche. Tiene agua caliente y es muy silencioso.

- Francisco Andres (9/5): - El personal del hostal es excelente, siempre atentos a cualquier requerimiento. La ubicación del hostal es céntrica, a unas pocas cuadras del parque central lo que permite acceder a los diferentes puntos de cultura y esparcimiento en la ciudad fácilmente. Un lugar muy recomendado. El internet estaba un poco lento para tener una reunión virtual pero funciona bien para el resto de usos.
- Elise (9/5): Good value - Great location, easy checking and they store luggage for you if you arrive early Hard mattress, lukewarm water in the shower
- YUREIMA (8/5): -
- Ramona (7/5): Ok für kurzen Aufenthalt - Gute Lage
Schöne Terrasse Doppelzimmer war sehr abgenutzt und alt. Für unseren Kurzaufenthalt ok.
Geld wurde bereits bei Buchung abgebucht und dann wieder zurückerstattet. Vor Ort mussten wir dann einiges draufzahlen.
- Yach Queche (10/5): - El ambiente Todo bien
- Mndez727 (8/5): -
- JanneT. (8/5): - Clean and very central location Old room and roof terrace isn't like in pictures. Bad price / quality ratio. Very nice staff!
- Kim Neeskens (8/5): Leuke kamer - Alles was gewoon in orde. De locatie was prima (alles in Antigua is op loopafstand), we mochten onze tassen opbergen bij de receptie en de kamer was gewoon goed. Niets.
- Stella (7/5): - Good location, beds were comfy. Small bathroom, one toilet in a room to share. Curtains were noisy on the beds
- William (8/5): - Solo estuve una noche. Precio accesible, limpio y con abanicos para el calor. Habitación pequeña con puerta hacia pasillo por donde todos entran.
- Shun hsin (6/5): - 地點佳,有24小時出入管制。提供飲用水。 房間潮濕,不通風。
- Anne-Marie (10/5): -
- Erika (10/5): - Me pareció súper limpio, además te prestan servicio de limpieza si deseas todos los días, la atención del personal 10/10. Un hostal sencillo pero muy cómodo. No tengo nada malo por decir.
- Ivette (10/5): - Muy céntrico, nos hospedamos en una habitación privada y tenía todo lo que necesitábamos para pasar una buena noche, la cama era muy confortable y todo estaba muy limpio.

- HyM. Hernan & Marisela (9/5): - El personal amable, muy servicial. ubicación 👍 excelente. muy limpio.
Nos limpiaron habitación a diário .
Agua caliente en la ducha, buena iluminación. todo muy ordenado
- - Lissette (7/5): Good yet basic hostel experience very centrally located - The location is stellar. I was really close to dancing spots and fun spaces in the center of town. I stayed in the mixed dormitory. And my bed did feel a little damp. But otherwise it was just fine.
- Catalina (6/5): Buena ubicación - La ubicación está muy bien, cerca al parque. El personal es muy cordial y amable. La habitación es amplia y tenía todo lo necesario para una buena estancia. Además tenía baño privado. La habitación es muy húmeda, se escucha mucho ruido ya que está en un pasillo principal. Las puertas no son tan seguras porque tienen un estilo colonial, sin embargo el lugar parecía seguro.
- JAVIER (1/5): very bad - near the Central Park terrible room , smell humidity , picture in your booking website y totally deferent to the reality room

- ANDRADE (8/5): Près du centre ville!! - La propreté de la chambre, les draps, etc.
La gentillese du personnel, surtout du Fernando à la reception. Les chambres et sdb sont trop petites, nous on n'en revient just que pour dormir mais comme même avec les valises il n'a pas assez de place pour pouvoir passer à la sdb.
On n'a pas utilisé la cuisine alors pas d"opinion.
- Grace (10/5): -
- Emmanuel (7/5): - Bien ubicado
- Aviv (7/5): Nice place for a crash - Good value for money.
You get a simple room with comfy bed and a shower.
The staff are friendly. The room is simple for the good and the bad - quite small, good for a crash but no more than that.
- Maldonado (10/5): -
- M2 Mister (8/5): -
- Brian (10/5): - Pretty close to the center of Antigua Guatemala, have some bars close by, also some restaurants, I would definitely recommend this place to stay
- Michal (9/5): - מהמם נקי וגדול קצת רחוק מהבית חב״ד בשביל ללכת לבד בשבת
- Dulce V. (5/5): -
- David (10/5): - Excellent location.Not a 5 star but a great deal for money, If you want a private hostel type environment. Private rooms are small but excellent. No AC but not really needed. Very quite for a Hostel. Excellent kitchen really a money saver in Antiqua. Be of service staff. Good security.
- Luis (9/5): -
- Julia (9/5): - Es ist super ruhig, alles ordentlich und organisiert Wifi ist super, man kann tagsüber entspannt auf der Terasse arbeiten.
- Francesca (8/5): Very good - Clean, good location, nice staff. A bit basic and dated rooms, for the price it could be better but the location is prime for the price.
- Michelle (8/5): - I went during low season and thankfully the room I was in had other travelers near my age that were also planning to do the volcano hike the same day. The vibe was chill and not many people around. The staff were nice and were there when I had a question or request.
- Patzy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Betty (9/5): Superb - The staff was friendly and helpful. We were able to see a procession right in front of the hostal. The location was good..
- Sophie (9/5): Superb -
- Hector (10/5): - Excelente ubicación, buena relación precio/calidad, limpio y cómodo.
- Tomer (9/5): Superb - Great location, equipped kitchen and the dorm room wasn't too crowded even though it fits many people
- Christoph (10/5): - .
- Louis (10/5): Exceptional - Second time staying at Hostal Antigua (private room). Very well maintained property two blocks from Central Plaza. Very quiet and tranquil. Great value.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The hostel is in a great location and it's very cute. The people who work there are nice and helpful. It's very nice they have someone there 24/7. I got a single room with private bathroom and my room was right next to the stairway. I was lucky because I had a meshed window in addition to the two small windows on the door, but the room still gets very stuffy because of lack of airflow. There is a fan but even at low it's very strong and blows directly at the bed, it would be hard to sleep like that. I couldn't keep the windows open at night because of sound and also didn't want to open the windows on the doors because of mosquitos. There is no window to the bathroom so when you take a shower all the steam just flows into the room and stays there so the room is a bit musty. The bathroom is moldy probably because of that, so it wasn't the most comfortable stay. You can also hear everything happening as clear as day, people talking, your neighbor hacking and spitting. I'm not sure there's much they can do about it since it is an old place. The value is a little off though. I moved to another hotel now that actually costs less than this room and it's 3 times the size, with high ceilings, quiet, and good airflow, so there are some better options out there.
- Antonio (7/5): Good -
- Andy (2/5): small prison - Quiet a narrow gap between a high fence and the wall with the door to your room: that's all you'll see in this hotel. the exit to the roof is closed. But even from there you can only see fences and barbed wire! the photos are all a lie. the kitchen is closed, it's impossible to find hot water at night. there are locks and bolts everywhere(
- Aysha (7/5): Good - Location was great! The staff were very lovely and the hostel terrace was really nice. Rooms much smaller than they appear online, our room felt and smelt quite damp. We also thought it was quite pricey for the standard of the rooms, this may have been because we stayed at a busy time but I still think the value didn't quite match what we paid.
- Michael (5/5): Attendant forbade guests to leave until after room inspection. - The location and that there was a bedroom with a private bathroom option. I did not like that the attendant kept the door locked and forbade anyone to leave until they inspected the rooms and counted all of the towels.
- Jana (6/5): Just okay - Free drinking water. Nice rooftop terrace. Great location in the center. Hot shower. It's a very basic accommodation, small humid room with furniture so outdated one could consider it of historical value, and no proper ventilation possibility. Rooms have no soundproofing so you hear all conversations from rooms around.
Staff is nice but has interesting behaviour, they charged us for a full bag of laundry even though the bag was only half full and should have been half the price, we heard the conversation between the receptionist and the laundry lady, the laundry lady noting that the bag is only half full but the receptionist insisting that they charge us the price for the full bag. They thought we didn't understand Spanish when they were saying this and honestly we just found it amusing and the price difference is marginal anyway, so we didn't argue about that, but it points to a lack of professionalism on their side.
- Bruno (6/5): Vale o custo beneficio - Hotelzinho ok , bem proximo ao centro, vale o custo beneficio para um hotel de 2 estelas. Deixaram guardae mochilas e antecipar o chek-in então merecem referencia de qualidade no atendimento ao cliente.
- Waxman (1/5): Property falsely advertises what it offers, do not stay here. - This property has false advertising regarding being pet friendly. We were told by front desk staff that we were not allowed to leave our dog unattended in our room while we explored the city. There also was no pool onsite or terrace views with each room.
- Evan (7/5): Good -
- Alasady1 (8/5): Clean and quiet - The place was super clean with curtains all around the bed for privacy.they give you towel, sheet and a bar of soap . They don’t accept credit card -:( and pillows were were stiff
- Pérez (8/5): Very good -
- BRITT (10/5): - So close to everything, they clean and tidy all day, secure, rooms are very clean but must say quite tiny - the rooftop kitchen and dining space make up for this such a lovely space, looked after our bags while went up the volcano.
- Astha_garg (8/5): Amazing location! - Amazing location! 3-5 mins walk from the central park. Many restuarant nearby.
The staff was very helpful and kind to us. The kitchen was super clean at all times. Nice terrace! There was this smell of dampness in the room. It came mostly from the bathroom. And the natural lighting was not that great!
The size of the room can be a little bigger.
- Edel (5/5): Passable - It has a good location and the room was clean. The rooftop area is nice to sit and chill. Very small room and there’s no window or any daylight coming through. There lights were very low too. There was a musty smell in the room also.
- Luis (7/5): Good -
- Carlos (7/5): Good -
- Jostin (6/5): Pleasant -
